Latin- pretty but foreign

Ok so I didn't get to update on the whole concert the day after. What can I say? Life happens.. But it's only 2days later so that should be good enough right?!

If you twitter w/me, you might have saw me complain just a tad about the concert.. Latin.. ugh. Don't get me wrong.. It was beautiful!! It was a combined concert w/ highschoolers & Jr High.. Unfortunately for us, Jr High was at the end- by which time Spoiled Princess was starting to get sleepy & antsy & ohh yeah TIRSTY!!

I was in choir myself thru 10th grade and apparently we were the hillbilly version. We dressed up in whatever we wanted, the only rule was skirts/dresses for girls & nice pants/shirts for boys. We sang Christmas songs (go ahead, gasp.. I know.. Christmas songs at Christmas time? Never!) and popular songs that most people knew..

Now let me tell you about this concert:Jr High was required to wear black skirts/slacks & WHITE ( emphasis on only white, no off white, no cream...) dressy shirts. HighSchool apparently ordered their outfits b/c they were identical.. which just tells me that choir is going to be getting alot more expensive in a few years ! lol.

Yes they looked awesome all dressed up so similiarly. They also looked OLD.. Not jr highers, but BIG KIDS.. And then they opened their mouths.

I could have cried-- they sounded so.. soo.. professional?! No kid sounds.. All grown up and gorgous.. Impressed? Yes I was..

The only thing I might have enjoyed more was if I could understand 2/3s of the songs.. because apparently the choir teacher (director?) had a thing for Latin this summer while picking out the songs.. I knew not a one & most I didn't understand.. Beautiful to listen to the voices but not a word filtered thru. lol.. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she picks at least 1 or 2 songs that I might actually recognize- or understand, for the next concert in Feb!
